An authentic vintage Chinese export cloisonné enamel bead necklace, dating to the mid-century period. The necklace features a full strand of rich burgundy-red spherical cloisonné beads, each decorated with delicate hand-enameled cherry blossoms in pink, turquoise blue, and green, framed by fine gilded copper wirework.
Individually hand-knotted on matching red silk cordage for security and flexibility. Secured with a traditional gold-toned filigree oval box clasp featuring openwork scrollwork and an authentic character maker's mark on the reverse tongue.
Very good vintage condition. All cloisonné enamel beads are smooth, glossy, and free from chips or cracked enamel. The silk knotting remains tight and clean, and the filigree box clasp connects firmly and holds securely.
